Employee's Finger Is Amputated by Chain and Sprocket

On January 11, 2006, Employee #1, working in a sawmill, was cleaning out a jam of saw dust in the shoot area of the tail drum, when Employee #2 came to help complete the job. Employee #2 was kneeling under the chain and sprocket, clearing the shoot of material. Employee #2 finished, proceeded to stand up, lost his balance, and while falling, grabbed the moving chain on the tail drum. The moving chain pulled his left hand into the sprocket and unguarded hazardous nip point between the chain and the sprocket. The top digit of Employee #2's left ring finger was completely amputated. He was hospitalized for his injury.
